TOKOM AGRESIJE SRUŠENO 27 MOSTOVA
NATO alijansa je od početka agresije na Saveznu Republiku Jugoslaviju na magistralnim i regionalnim putevima porušila ili oštetila 27 mostova, među kojima i sedam velikih. Među velikim su mostovi na Velikoj Moravi, autoputu Beograd - Niš kod sela Mijatovac na putu Jagodina - Ćuprija, preko Save kod Ostružnice, u Novom Sadu (Sloboda, Žeželjev i Petrovaradinski most), na Dunavu između Smedereva i Kovina i most na istoj reci kod Beške. Neprijateljska avijacija znatno je oštetila i nadvožnjak kod Velike Plane na autoputu Beograd - Niš.
Najveća evropska magistrala Dunav - prekinuta je. Besomučnim bombardovanjem agresora i rušenjem mostova u našoj zemlji, sedmi koridor Evrope (E-7), koji u dužini od 3.500 kilometara, preko kanala Rajna-Majna, povezuje luku Roterdam na Severnom moru sa lukom Suline na Crnom moru, postao je najveći privredni i ekološki gubitaš Evrope. Godinama korišćen kao ubedljivo najjeftiniji prevoz za sve vrste roba, rečni evropski saobraćaj je u kolapsu. Najvećim brodarskim firmama Evrope preti raspad. Isplativost jedne od svojevremeno najvećih nemačkih i evropskih investicija, izgradnja čuvenog kanala Rajna-Majna u dužini od 174 kilometra, svedena je na nulu. Evropa je po ko zna koji put nasamarena od svog "prijatelja" s one strane okeana. Da li je rušenje mostova na Dunavu kroz Jugoslaviju bilo dogovoreno? Ako jeste, da li baš tako da plovni put bude potpuno uništen? Bombarduje li Evropa i ekološki uništava samu sebe?Odgovori na ta i slična pitanja za one koji umeju da čitaju između redova mogli su se naći na nedavno, u jeku najžešćih rušenja mostova, održanoj 57. sednici "Dunavske komisije" u Budimpešti.
Ekspertska komisija za procenu štete
Jedan od učesnika jugoslovenske delegacije na sednici bio je i tehnički direktor Savezne ustanove za održavanje i razvoj unutrašnjih plovnih puteva Radivoje Jonić.Prema njegovim rečima, sednica je u svom oficijalnom delu bila napeta i mučna, zbog donošenja teksta rezolucije o nastanku štete rušenjem mostova i što bržem uspostavljanju slobodne plovidbe, u kome nikako, bez obzira na svu svesnost situacije, nisu mogle ući reći kao što su "agresija" i "NATO". Zato je onaj drugi deo, neformalni, bio obilat podacima o konkretnim gubicima, šteti, ekološkoj katastrofi, propasti firmi, ogromnim lučkim taksama, prevarenoj i iskorišćenoj Evropi, i to sa ukazivanjem na jednog jedinog krivca za nastalu situaciju - SAD. Ipak, i Rezolucija koja je pod pokroviteljstvom predsedavajućeg Austrijanca G. Štrasera, doneta 22. aprila, kada su avioni NATO-a rušili mostove kod Bogojeva, Novog Sada i Smedereva, sadrži obavezujuće klauzule o tome da će se radi otklanjanja šteta i uspostavljanja slobodne plovidbe angažovati sve zemlje potpisnice i Evropska unija, te svi ostali relevantni činioci i međunarodni finansijski fondovi. Ujedno se od EU traži da zbog nastalih šteta utiče na to da se što hitnije obustavi bombardovanje. Na insistiranje naše delegacije, doneta je i odluka da tek nakon obustavljanja agresije na lice mesta izađe formirana međunarodna ekspertska komisija, koja će ustanoviti štetu i mogućnosti saniranja. Naime, bilo je pritisaka na našu delegaciju da se odmah izjasni o obimu štete kako bi se ona minimizirala. O kakvim štetama je reć, najbolje govori primer da je za podizanje najnižeg dunavskog "železnog" mosta u Novom Sadu, za dva njegova metra, bilo svojevremeno potrebno 15 miliona dolara, a što nije ni 10 odsto njegove cene. Samo "snimanje" kompletnog (i podvodnog) toka Dunava koji kroz našu zemlju prolazi u dužini od 587 kilometara, zbog rušenja i neeksplodiranih delova raketa, višestruko je skuplje. I to, kao i sve drugo, bili su svesni te činjenice svi učesnici, svakako će platiti Evropa. To je cena njene ljubavi prema Americi.Ubitačna ekonomska računica, o kojoj se po kuloarima listom pričalo, jednostavno nije mogla više da se obuzdava. Tako se, u besu, i saznalo da su o rušenju mostova mnogi bili obavešteni, ali im je Amerika obećala da će se rušiti tako da plovni put ostane slobodan, kao na primeru mosta Beška, Bogojevo i Smederevo, čije srušene strane ne zatvaraju plovni put. Ali tada su na red došli američka bahatost i bestijalno rušenje novosadskih mostova, što je još jedan dokaz da je njima, sem ostalog, stalo da što više privredno osakate svog najvećeg konkurenta - "prijatelja" ujedinjenu Evropu. Tu činjenicu su očigledno među prvima shvatili biznismeni koji su počeli da iznose podatke da je dnevni gubitak samo onih brodara koji čekaju na prevoz veći od dva miliona dolara. Takse za boravak brodova u lukama su ogromne. Primera radi, brod od 2.000 tona koji u proseku gura deset barži od po 1.000 tona plaća pola dolara po toni, što je 6.000 dolara. O taksama za usluge remorkera, lučkog pilota (150 dolara na sat), struji, vodi, smeću i vežu, ne treba ni govoriti. U prevodu, svakom brodu je isplativije da vozi i prazan nego da boravi u luci. Kako saznajemo, u mađarskoj luci Mohač čeka više od 80 brodova, a u donjem delu Dunava u lukama Vidin i Reni još ih je i više. Svi oni, očigledno, plaćaju danak sulude agresije NATO-a na Jugoslaviju, čije će posledice cela Evropa još dugo osećati.
Brodarske flote zavijene u crno
Gubici najstarije brodarske kompanije na Dunavu austrijske "DDSG" su, za sada, po milion šilinga dnevno. Ništa manji nisu ni gubici mađarskog "Maharta", a najbrojnija među njima - Ukrajinska flota, koja već godinama rudačom snabdeva železare u Lincu - zavijena je u crno. Naime, pretovaranje 300.000 tona robe sa brodova u šlepere ne može da se obavi za nedelju ili dve, a to sve poskupljuje troškove transporta za 300 odsto. Koliko je cena rečnog saobraćaja povoljna, ilustruje podatak da na samo jednu baržu može da stane robe sa čak 40 šlepera. Bugarski brodari su zato, dok je Dunav bio prohodan, najviše i koristili specijalne "ro-ro" brodove, na koje su krcali po više od 30 natovarenih šlepera, a za pokretanje celog konvoja dovoljna je snaga samo jednog šlepera. Sada je sve stalo, i oni su svesni da im Amerikanci tu štetu nikada neće nadoknaditi. Po rečima Valtera Edingera, generalnog direktora austrijske špediterske kompanije, samo kroz njihovu deonicu Dunava prolazilo je više od 9,5 miliona tona robe, koja je sada zbog bombardovanja potpuno redukovana. Gubici su iz dana u dan sve veći. Nemci, koji za sada, zbog članstva u NATO-u, ne smeju ni da spomenu svoje gubitke, a koji su, po ocenama ekonomista podunavskih zemalja, ubedljivo najveći i već su prešli milijardu maraka, osećaju se vise nego prevareno. Niko u Evropi, očigledno, nije očekivao toliku štetu, osim Amerikanca i njihovog dolara, kojima je evropska zajednička valuta "euro" na svetskim berzama ozbiljno zapretila. Moralo se nešto preduzeti ne bi li se Evropa o svom jadu, finansijskom i ekološkom, pozabavila. Jer kako drugačije objasniti, recimo, bombardovanje Novosadske i Pančevačke rafinerije, stacioniranih kraj Dunava, posle čega su se na reci pojavile mrlje nafte u dužini od 15 kilometara, čije je čišćenje basnoslovno skupo.
NATO DESTROYED 27 BRIDGES
Since the beginning of the aggression on FR Yugoslavia NATO has completely destroyed or damaged 27 bridges on main and regional roads, out of which seven were big. They were bridges on the Velika Morava river, on Belgrade-Nis motorway near the village of Mijatovac, on Jagodina-Cuprija road, the bridge on the Sava river near Ostruznica, in Novi Sad (Sloboda, Zezelj's, and Petrovaradin bridges), bridge on the Danube linking Smederevo and Kovin, and bridge near Becka. The enemy air force has inflicted considerable damage to the flyover in the vicinity of Velika Plana on Belgrade-Nis motorway.
The largest European line of communication - the Danube - has been cut. Due to the brutal strike on our country and the destruction of its bridges, the 3.500 km long seventh European corridor (E-7), linking the port of Rotterdam on the North Sea with the port of Suline on the Black Sea through Rhein-Main Channel, has become the biggest loser in Europe in both economic and environmental sense. What was the cheapest transport of all types of goods, the river traffic, has now collapsed. The largest shipping companies in Europe now face bankruptcy. The profitability of one of the greatest German and European investments, the 174 km long Rhein-Main Channel, now plummeted to zero. Europe has newly been deceived by its "friend" across the ocean. Was the destruction of the bridges on River Danube in Yugoslavia approved? If it was, did it also include the interruption of river communications? Is Europe bombing and environmentally destroying itself?
The 57th session of the Danube Commission held in Budapest in the heat of the raids on Danube bridges, might provide the answers to the these and similar questions.
Expert committee to estimate damages
The Federal River Management Institute head of technical services, Mr. Radivoje Jonic, was one of the members of the Yugoslav delegation at the session. According to him, the official part of the session was rather intense and unpleasant, due to the motion for a resolution on the damages caused by the destruction and the reestablishing of free river traffic. In spite of the awareness of the actual situation, words such as "aggression" and "NATO" weren't allowed to in the resolution. On the other hand, the unofficial part dealt with ample data on concrete losses, damage, environmental catastrophe, ruined companies, huge harbor taxes, the deceived European countries. All pointed to a single culprit - the US. Nevertheless, the resolution proposed under the guidance of the chairman G. Strasser on April 22nd, at the time when NATO aircraft were destroying bridges near Bogojevo, Novi Sad and Smederevo, includes binding clauses on the repair of damages and the re-establishment of free river traffic. It also specifies financing by all signatories, the European Union and relevant factors and involvement of international financial funds. At the same time European Union is urged, due to inflicted damages, to help end the bombing. The decision that an international expert committee should carry out a field inspection and ascertain damages and potential repair, after the end of aggression, has been passed after our delegation insisted on it. In fact, the Yugoslav delegation was pressured to immediately establish the extension of the damage, so that it could be minimized. The scope of the damage is best illustrated by the fact that the project to raise by only two meters the lowest steel bridge on the Danube (near Novi Sad) required 15 million dollars - this being under 10 percent of its total cost. The cost of the survey (including underwater inspection) of the entire 587 km long course of the Danube through Yugoslavia will be several times higher both due to the demolished bridges and the removal of unexploded ammunition. The participants were quite aware that all this will have to be paid for by Europe as a price for its devotion to America. Many of the Danube Basin countries were previously informed that the destruction of bridges would not block river traffic - as in the case of the bridges in Beska, Bogojevo and Smederevo. But the brutal destruction of the bridges in Novi Sad contradicts such assurances and reveals that America's goal was also to hinder its biggest rival - united Europe. Obviously, businessmen were the first to realize this. They presented data on daily losses of certain shipping agencies being more than two million dollars. Dockage fees in ports are enormous. For example a ship of 2.000 tons, pushing ten barges of 1.000 tons each, has to pay 6.000 dollars (50 cents per ton). Further expenses include taxes for tugboat services, harbor pilot (150 dollars per hour), electricity, running water, garbage etc. Paradoxically it's less expensive to sail empty than to be anchored in a harbor. Reportedly, there are over 80 ships waiting in the Hungarian port of Mohac, and even more in lower stretch of the Danube - in the ports of Vidin and Reni. All of them are bearing the long-term consequences of the insane aggression on Yugoslavia.
Shipping on the brink of disaster
Daily losses of DDSG from Austria - the oldest shipping company on the Danube - have recently reached the amount of one million shillings. The Hungarian Mahart is facing similar losses, and the Ukrainian fleet that has been supplying steel mills in Linz for years is on the brink of disaster. In fact, redirecting 300.000 tons of cargo from river transport to trucks can't be performed in just a couple of weeks, and this increased transport costs by 300 percent. The profitability of the river traffic is best illustrated by the fact that a single barge can carry as much as cargo as 40 heavy trucks. That is also why the Bulgarian shipping companies used special "ro-ro" ships. Now the traffic has been severed and all parties involved are well aware that the Americans will never cover their losses. According to Walter Edinger, general manager of the Austrian shipping agent, more than 9,5 millions of tons of goods passed along the Yugoslav stretch of the Danube alone. The losses are growing every day. Being a member of NATO, Germany remains silent, though economists say that its losses are by far the biggest. Obviously, nobody in Europe expected such immense damage, except the Americans, determined to fend off the threat posed to the dollar by the common currency. On the other hand, no explanation can be found for the bombing of Yugoslav oil refineries on the banks of the Danube (Novi Sad and Pancevo) other than something had to be done to keep Europe busy, in the financial and environmental sense: the 15 km long oil slicks are very costly to remove!
